*chuckles* There is a max version of it, I'm just making these so that people have more options. I've always found it much easier to texture with Lightwave than 3DSMax, haven't quite gotten around to learning how to model with it.

and, if you dont have lightwave, there's always the option of running a lightwave mesh through blender, and exporting it as a .obj file(with required .mtl, needed for proper loading of textures and other things related to a given mesh)

.obj files, are from what I've seen, the most universally compatible format.

now, I could be wrong on that last bit, but, you never know.

Universal Law #001:anything and everything that could possibly go wrong can and probably will, and, most likely, at the least opportune time.

startrekeurope is down, indeed. not forever, but its down currently. i dont know what it is with all those things that keep going wrong. one time i think i solved everything, and other problems rise. stupid computers.
